Yes, too much flow through the radiator does not allow the water to cool properly (or enough) so it returns to the motor hotter than it should be, which in turn raises the temperature even more.
The fan on your Kia Sorento may stay on permanently due to a few potential reasons, such as a malfunctioning thermostat, a faulty temperature sensor, or an issue with the engine control unit (ECU). It could also be a result of the vehicle's design to prevent overheating, especially if the engine is running hot. Additionally, a stuck relay might be causing the fan to remain activated. It’s advisable to have a mechanic diagnose the issue to prevent further damage.
It is very common for the impeller of a VW to break apart. The result is engine overheating and no heat. Usually, the the radiator remains full unless severe overheating causes a boilover and consequent loss of coolant. Also expect that the engine becomes hot yet radiator and heater hoses remain cool. If this happens, replace the water pump. It is usually convenient to replace the timing belt at this time.
Certainly. If the engine coolant is flowing freely into the radiator, it will remain quite cool and the coolant that circulates into the heater core will never warm up. The thermostat blocks the coolant from entering into the radiator if the temperature is below the set level on the thermostat. Usually 185, or 195 degrees F. Engines don't run as efficiently at the lower temperature either, so if the thermostat isn't working right, replace it.
If the cooling fan on an Mk2 MR2 is always on, it could be due to a faulty coolant temperature sensor, a stuck relay, or a malfunctioning thermostat. The sensor may be sending a constant signal to the fan, while a stuck relay can keep the fan powered regardless of temperature. Additionally, check for any wiring issues or short circuits that could cause the fan to remain active. It's advisable to diagnose the specific component causing the issue to prevent potential overheating or battery drain.
Yes It is not good to run any car without a thermostat. Initially the car will run too cold and use extra fuel as the choke will remain on, then it will overheat as the thermostat is needed to slow the flow of water through the radiator for it to cool effectively.
If the top hose gets hot that means that the thermostat HAS opened. Thermostats remain closed until the engine warms up then the thermostat only opens enough to keep the temperature at about the set-point temperature of the thermostat. Just repair the radiator and enjoy the vehicle.

The ABS light is on because there is a problem with the system. Until the problem is fixed the light will remain on. Once the problem is fixed the light will reset itself.
An air conditioning contactor may stay engaged due to a malfunctioning thermostat, a short circuit in the control wiring, or a stuck contactor relay. If the thermostat fails to signal the system to turn off, or if there is an electrical issue causing continuous power to the contactor, it will remain energized. Additionally, a faulty contactor itself can cause it to stick in the closed position. It's important to troubleshoot and address these issues to prevent potential damage to the system.
The abs light is on because there is a problem with the system. Until that problem is fixed the light will remain on. When the problem is fixed the light will reset itself after driving a few minutes.
The abs light is on because you have a problem with the abs system. The light will remain on until the problem is fixed. Once the problem is fixed the light will reset itself.
